Julie Tapin Lusk

I am proud to be a member of the Tapin family.  Here is a glimpse into our family’s history and ancestry.  We date back to 1429 and originated in France. This is documented in “6 old history books” and summarized in the letter below that was written by Michel Tapin in April 1995 to Mrs. John F. White.

Antoine Tapin moved from France to Canada in 1646. My dad, Thomas Phillip Tapin, used a typewriter to peck out the family tree from information he had received from Gertrude, his sister, that she primarily got from church records.  It’s below the letter.

This information is typed exactly like the original documents are.  You will see that some names and places are spelled differently.  I chose not to attempt to make ‘corrections’ and give you the information as it is written.

More information will be added after my scanner is fixed.

With deep love and respect,
Julie Tapin Lusk

Dear Mrs. White,

I have received your letter and opened the package with great excitement. I should first thank you for reviving the interest in me for the family history. This will force me to take time and explore the work that my father did on the subject. I guess that I am arriving at the age where the interest of knowing where I come from is getting more important as the time “to go” gets a little bit nearer. It seems to happen to a few people and I wonder why? My father once told me, that if you find out where you came from you will have a pretty fair idea where you’re heading to. The forward trajectory of the golf ball has a lot to do with the back swing. What we have become today has a lot to do with what our ancestors did.

Before I go any further, I have got to say that I am a little short of time at the present and I wish I had the luxury of being retired. However, the curious side of me has taken over strongly and I have already spent a few nights until the early morning hours rummaging through the information that my father has gathered on the Tapins over the years. I am afraid that there will be many more of these nights from now on!

It will be a great pleasure for me to fill you in on the history of “La famille des Tapins”. The information that my father gathered is in a great big box and it pretty much is out of order, but I am sure that every thing shall be sorted out for you. However, it is “en francais” but I will translate the information that would be of interest to you. Keep in mind that this is an adventure of discovery in every way for me also.

I am very happy that you discovered my father’s name by chance it seems. He was born in St. Louis de Courville on the 19^th of April, 1902 and died in St-Hubert on the 27^th of May 1977. He was well known around Montreal having been involved in politics and other public matters. He was a devout Christian, loved by everyone and a totally giving person. He was also an excellent violinist and pianist. He had been a member of the Montreal Symphony in its early beginnings. He had a jolly personality and a great storyteller. I have moved from my hometown 20 years ago, but I am told that the old people still remember him.

Before returning to the immediate family, I have to tell you that my father had 6 old history books in which we find the name Tapin mentioned. The books tell the history of the town of Chalon sur Saone. The first Tapin to come to this continent was, as you know, Antoine and he came from the Poitou which is in the middle eastern part of France. It would be interesting to find from what part of France the father of Toussaint Tapin originated because in the books it is said that the Tapins originated in the village of Ruilly in the canton de Chagny which is in the district of Chalon. In the year 1429 according to the Memoiresde la Societe d’Histoires et d’Archeologie de Chalon – sur- Saone, a one Philibert Tapin founded a chapel in the parish church. (Memoires de la Societe d’Hist. etd’Arch. De Chalon, tome II 1850, p. 178.) In the middle of the 15^th century, a branch of the family moved to Laives in the canton de Sennecy, in the district of Chalon. Pierre Tapin was an alderman in 1451, and also the town notary. Jean then Claude took over the practice until 1580. Jean and Claude seem to be the sons of Pierre.

The Chalonnese Tapins were from the branch of Laives, and one of them another Claude, is an investigator for the “baillage” (bailiff) at the start of 1540. This Claude Tapin was a great benefactor to the community funding the restoration of the town College. Ref: Archives de Saone et Loire E. 1441, 1054. J. L. Bazin, Les Seigneurs du nom de Sennecy, Macon, 1904 p 46 note I. This Claude Tapin is referred as Claude le vieil “the old.” There was another Claude Tapin, probably his son, who held in Chalon many offices notably controller of the salt storehouse and tax receiver. He was elected mayor in 1615. His heart was filled with sorrow upon the death of his eldest son sieur Tapin de PERRIGNY that he died before finishing his term as mayor. He was coseigneur by his wife Philiberte Caillard of d’Ouroux. Jean Caillard, her father, was also coseigneur d’Ouroux and treasurer of the parliament of Bourgogne. Philiberte Caillard sold in 1628 her land to Sermaizey near Laives. Afterwards, she was the lender of considerable sums to the city of Chalon. She died in 1651 giving part of her fortune to the hospital. The mayor of Chalon from his union with Philiberte Caillard had it said 3 girls married to the sieurs of Mucie, Rigoley and Guyet and as many sons. The eldest Jean-Baptiste Tapin de Perrigny controller of the salt storehouse was renowned for his successes in crossbow competition which he was proclaimed king. His brother Pierre was a chanoine (priest) and singer and cure d’Ouroux died in 1659. The other brother Claude was counseller to the “baillage” and married Jeanne Nicquevard and by testament left to the College a heritage known as the “Claude Tapin Foundation.”

The Tapin family were noblelized in 1647 by the king in the Parliament of Dijon with the coat of arms: d’azur au chevron d’or accompagne en chef de deux etoiles d’argent et en pointe d’un pin de meme.” They were known as Seigneurs de Perrigny, Guerfand, and Barons de Grignon. The family died in the XVIII century.

My father had his coat of arms made out which resembles the above description. (attached).

There are also 4 volumes of the history “Les Capucins de l’ancienne province de Lyon,” written by P. Theotime de Saint. Just a big part of the story was done by Father Michel Ange Tapin during his life. Father de Saint. Just in the postface talks about the honorable famile Tapin de Chalon-Sur Saone and Antoine Tapin and refers to my father as a direct descendant of the noble famile Tapin of Chalon. As you can see, our roots are in excellent soil. An interesting note in my father’s diary Monday, March 20, 1953. Quote “Received invitation by the Royal Government of England to assist at the Coronation of Her Majesty the Queen Elisabeth II in Westminster Abbey, two are reserved for Gaetane and me. His comments” ‘great donor due to the name of the ancestors.”

My father never went to France. He was not a travelling person in his retirement years. He did all his research by mail which is much slower. He was successful at it by the looks of all the information that was accumulated. It would surly be nice to go to France and take a look around and see if we can go a little further than 1429.

I will surely send a word to your ½ uncle. It seems that the love of music is in our genes. Does your uncle sing? I have a trained tenor voice. I give solo recitals whenever the time permits around Sherbrooke. Before I moved to Sherbrook, I had dreams of a career in opera. I stopped singing when I moved here and dropped the dream. I restarted voice training a couple of years ago for the joy of it and as a hobby. It helped me pass through some very hard times. I will keep on signing as long as I can. I will surely stop however, if I get bad feedback from the audience. When that time comes, I will retire to the shower and close the door!

As I am going along in my father’s work, notes, etc., there is a lot of material, and it gets confusing in the late hours. It would surely be pleasant if you ever were around these parts of the country to have a conversation about the subject. After looking at the material that you sent me, it would had been great if my father had a computer. Here is how I am connected directly to Antoine Tapin.

• Antoine Tapin married Jeanne Magdeleine Quebec 4 Nov. 1669
• Son Rene married Louise Loriot Pte. aux Trembles 4 Nov 1698
• Son Jean-Baptiste married Marie Frechet Charlesbourg 29 Jan. 1731
• Son Joseph married Esther Moisan Ancienne Lorette 15 Nov 1779
• Son Joseph married Louise Mailloux Notre Dame Quebec 9 June 1801
• Son Joseph married Marie Doyle St Roch de Quebec 1 Oct. 1833
• Son Joseph married Marie Cournoyer Sorel 20 June 1871
• Son Narcisse married Parmelia Malo Nativite de Montreal 16, Avril 1901
• Son Lucien married Gaetane Savage St-Louis de France Montreal. 12 Juin 1940
• Son Michel married Lorraine Blankwater St-Jean Eudes St-Hubert 9 Oct 1965

I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. I am certain that you surely have a few questions. In the meantime, I will continue to take a look in my father’s work. I have a project of rewriting the whole family story when everything gets clear and in focus.

By the way, I have a very wonderful wife and two great sons. Daniel, who has just finished his master’s degree in chemical engineering is leaving for a few months for a tour of 25.000 kilometers in the USA. I don’t think that he has planned to pop in Kenosha, but who knows? The other one, Benoit, who is 7 years younger than Daniel at 20 is married and we have a grand-daughter Jasmine since July 1994. He and his wife, Sofie, are both artists. Benoit is a musician and Sofie is a painter. They’re moving to Quebec City this summer to study.

I am enclosing a copy of the family coat of arms and a photo of Antoine Tapin’s house in Neuville. I have another very old photo that has Antoine written on it. It’s very faint and impossible to copy. I doubt however of its authenticity. I will check it out. Someone must have given it to my father on a trip to Neuville, but there is no clue to the giver’s name.

I am sure that there are a few errors here and there. I don’t have very much practice of the English language and since I moved to Sherbrooke, I have been losing it a bit year by year. It has been a good exercise.

Thanks for the fifteen dollars. It was not really necessary. I will put it on ice for a bottle of wine for our proposed lunch if ever you’re in Sherbrooke.

Hoping to hear from you soon and the very best to your family. Yours truly and newly found cousin,

The actual submission data is stored in the database of the site on which it was submitted and is emailed directly to the owner of the form (i.e. the site author who published the page on which the contact form resides). This email will include the submitter’s IP address, timestamp, name, email address, website, and message.

Data Synced (?): Post and post meta data associated with a user’s contact form submission. If Akismet is enabled on the site, the IP address and user agent originally submitted with the comment are synced, as well, as they are stored in post meta.

Google Analytics

Data Used: Please refer to the appropriate Google Analytics documentation for the specific type of data it collects. For sites running WooCommerce (also owned by Automattic) and this feature simultaneously and having all purchase tracking explicitly enabled, purchase events will send Google Analytics the following information: order number, product id and name, product category, total cost, and quantity of items purchased. Google Analytics does offer IP anonymization, which can be enabled by the site owner.

Activity Tracked: This feature sends page view events (and potentially video play events) over to Google Analytics for consumption. For sites running WooCommerce-powered stores, some additional events are also sent to Google Analytics: shopping cart additions and removals, product listing views and clicks, product detail views, and purchases. Tracking for each specific WooCommerce event needs to be enabled by the site owner.

Infinite Scroll
Data Used: In order to record page views via WordPress.com Stats (which must be enabled for page view tracking here to work) with additional loads, the following information is used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code.

Activity Tracked: Page views will be tracked with each additional load (i.e. when you scroll down to the bottom of the page and a new set of posts loads automatically). If the site owner has enabled Google Analytics to work with this feature, a page view event will also be sent to the appropriate Google Analytics account with each additional load.

Jetpack Comments
Data Used: Commenter’s name, email address, and site URL (if provided via the comment form), timestamp, and IP address. Additionally, a jetpack.wordpress.com IFrame receives the following data: WordPress.com blog ID attached to the site, ID of the post on which the comment is being submitted, commenter’s local user ID (if available), commenter’s local username (if available), commenter’s site URL (if available), MD5 hash of the commenter’s email address (if available), and the comment content. If Akismet (also owned by Automattic) is enabled on the site, the following information is sent to the service for the sole purpose of spam checking: commenter’s name, email address, site URL, IP address, and user agent.

Activity Tracked: The comment author’s name, email address, and site URL (if provided during the comment submission) are stored in cookies. Learn more about these cookies.

Data Synced (?): All data and metadata (see above) associated with comments. This includes the status of the comment and, if Akismet is enabled on the site, whether or not it was classified as spam by Akismet.

Protect
Data Used: In order to check login activity and potentially block fraudulent attempts, the following information is used: attempting user’s IP address, attempting user’s email address/username (i.e. according to the value they were attempting to use during the login process), and all IP-related HTTP headers attached to the attempting user.

Activity Tracked: Failed login attempts (these include IP address and user agent). We also set a cookie (jpp_math_pass) for 1 day to remember if/when a user has successfully completed a math captcha to prove that they’re a real human. Learn more about this cookie.

Data Synced (?): Failed login attempts, which contain the user’s IP address, attempted username or email address, and user agent information.

This content will be sent to Akismet (also owned by Automattic) so that a spam check can be performed. Additionally, if reCAPTCHA (by Google) is enabled by the site owner, the sharing party’s IP address will be shared with that service. You can find Google’s privacy policy here.

Subscriptions
Data Used: To initiate and process subscriptions, the following information is used: subscriber’s email address and the ID of the post or comment (depending on the specific subscription being processed). In the event of a new subscription being initiated, we also collect some basic server data, including all of the subscribing user’s HTTP request headers, the IP address from which the subscribing user is viewing the page, and the URI which was given in order to access the page (REQUEST_URI and DOCUMENT_URI). This server data used for the exclusive purpose of monitoring and preventing abuse and spam.

Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature.

Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.

Activity Tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this module is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the Javascript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that our plugin and code is not causing performance issues. This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, Javascript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner has the ability to force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. By default, DNT is currently not honored.
